NFPA (Fire) 1403 Historical

NFPA 1403 applies to the training of fire fighters under live fire conditions and focuses on training for coordinated interior and exterior fire suppression operations while maintaining a minimum exposure to risk for the participants.

Revised to reflect new fire experiences, this 2002 edition includes updated references to other safety-related NFPA standards, plus:

- A new requirement for periodic evaluation of a training center burn building by a licensed professional engineer with burn building evaluation experience 
- Increased prerequisites for students participating in live fire training evolutions 
- Increased requirements on becoming familiar with exits and other features of acquired structure
